The PIM-530 operates using conventional initiating device circuit technology and contains an integrated onboard Protectowire Alarm Point Location Meter. The module also includes a time and date clock, 64 event history log, Form C contacts for host panel interface and dual 4-20mA status outputs.
The module is designed for easy installation and can be optionally provided in a NEMA-4X rated enclosure for mounting outside of the host fire alarm control panel or remotely near the hazard to be protected.
The standard PIM-530 module contains a built in Protectowire Alarm Point Location Meter. This meter will automatically display the distance from the beginning of the detector run to the heat actuated (shorted) portion of the detector. The Alarm Point Location Meter can be programmed to display distance in either standard units (Feet) or metric units (Meters). The meter display provides a simple “on screen” calibration procedure allowing the measurement to be field calibrated to the installed detector length and am-bient temperature for optimal accuracy
Each PIM-530 interface module can supervise a single zone of our PHSC linear heat detectors. The following benefits come standard with each module:
- Supervises 6,500 feet (2000m) of standard PHSC linear detectors
- Modbus output via RS-485
- Relay contacts for universal compatibility to addressable modules or IDCs
- Field configurable to support either a Class A or Class B configuration
- LCD screen and trackpad for easy programming
- Hardware available for use in classified hazards
- Integrated alarm point location
- 64 event history
- Optional: NEMA-4X (IP66) enclosure
- Optional: -40°F (-40°C) version without LCD
- Required: 12 to 32 VDC regulated input power
